Pohopoco, 6/21

[Clarmy]

Fished from 2:30 to 5:30 then a break, then from 7:30 to dark.
Weird day, about 3:00 a sulphur hatch started and lasted for an hour or so. Caught about 8, all stockies with the largest about 14". At 7:30 another hatch came on and after being fooled thinking it was more sulphurs I scooped up a struggling bug and realized it was a caddis of some sort. Low profile folded back wings with a fat pudgy light colored body. The closest thing I could find that matched the silhouette was a #16 Yellow Sally. Right choice, caught fish steady the last hour and a half until 9:15.
Rainbows, browns, and brook. By far the best day I've had this year. The stream is in great shape and ice cold.

Nice report! That is a fun little stream. Word is it just got another dose of fish from the PFBC. Too bad the stream gets cleaned out pretty good as the season wears on since it can hold fish all summer with no problems....lots of fridged water, and good bugs.

I've found the sulphurs start early, and end early. By the time the sun gets below the trees, the hatch is over. Must be because of the colder water. Good to hear that something else started up to keep the fish looking up thru the eve.
